pptp & pppd_devpts_t

Having rebooted into kernel 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 at the weekend, I found 
that I couldn't get a connection to my ISP (using pptp) until I added 
the following rule:

allow pptp_t pppd_devpts_t:chr_file { read write };

I can't figure out what has changed that makes this necessary; pptp was 
working just fine until the reboot.

(the machine had not been rebooted for several weeks so it's not easy to 
tell which policy or kernel update actually introduced this issue)

Any ideas?

Paul.
